Dhoni's finishing skills are done and dusted? I will leave with you that cheeky question. But when would Jadhav, Pandya and others start doing it? India though have been shocked to say the least. But they themselves had a hand in it as if they threw the oxygen cylinder along their way to the mini cliff of 190. A target that should have been an amateur trek seemed like a bumpy ride. The series stands at 1-2 for the Windies with one to play. And India stands with questions staring at them, on the face, intent in the middle overs while batting is an elephant of a question. WI can draw level if they show the stomach to fight as they did today. The decider coming up in a few days on the 6th but more on offer before that. Buhbye from Kumar Abhisekh Das on behalf of Raju Peethala, Vineet Anantharaman, Akshay Maanay and Naga.

A field day for our statsman, Deepu Narayanan. Here's a round up. Do scroll down through the commentary for plenty more..

* This is only the second ODI since 2010 India have both scored and conceded at less than four an over. The other: vs Pak, Delhi, Jan 2013

***

Jason Holder, Man of the Match: Extremely pleased with the guys. Obviously a few heads had dropped at the halfway stage. It took a big effort and credit to all the bowlers. Everyone came in and gave it their all. The fielding was also supportive. It shows if we believe, we can compete. Throughout the series we have spoken about getting wickets with the new ball, India's top-order has done the scoring; removing Shikhar Dhawan and Rahane was important as their middle-order has done very less work. In his second game, Williams showed a lot of maturity; came in and showed a lot of heart. It (batting) is an area of concern. 250 is a par score, but we have another game to turn it around. The good thing is that the series is still alive. I always believe in myself. I have been bowling well so far, the only criticism is with my back end bowling. We have to show heart. We have to show fight. If we put our minds, we give it all, we can get a good result.

Virat Kohli: Not really. We bowled really well to restrict them to 189. But our shot selection was not up to the mark. Even losing crucial wickets at crucial times; low scoring games can be tricky to chase. Credit to Windies bowlers, bowled tight lines and put pressure on our batsmen to commit those mistakes. It felt a bit two-paced. The new ball was fine, but it was slow after that. I don't think there was much in the pitch. Definitely the batting and shot selection is something that will have to look into going into the final game. I am sure the boys will want to come back strong and fresh and see how things go. We need a complete performance and today wasn't one. The bowlers were right up to the mark and the fielders as well. The intensity was really good. We just have to put it behind us and come back stronger.

Earlier in the day, Windies stumbled to 189. It looked a canter from the outset but not to be! India lost a couple of wickets early and then despite a painstakingly slow resurrection from Rahane and Dhoni, India were never threatening to take it away from the Windies. In the end, the game was about nerves and Windies held it better to steal a big win and keep the series alive. Of course, they can't win but can level it, after the spirited show today. Presentations coming up in a while. Would be interesting to see, what would Kohli's answers be

Kohli stood emotionless in the dressing room. Dhoni is seen still sitting with no emotion at all. India have snatched defeat from the huge jaws of win. There not wanting to add pace to the innings in the middle overs pegging them back. Dhoni's 54 off 114 would be a huge debating issue and so would be Jadeja's mindless slog to long-on. The top and the middle order also came a cropper to add to India's woes. A chase of 190 has been goofed up in a theatrical manner.

49.4

Holder to Shami, out Caught by Roston Chase!! That is it. Windies win by 11 runs. A full toss and cracked straight to the man at cover. The Windies fans go delirious. This is a major upset. India only have themselves to blame. A fifer for Holder. His first in ODIs and what a time to do it. Shami c Roston Chase b Holder 1(2)

Holder to Shami, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

49.3

Holder to Kuldeep Yadav, 1 run, steals a single to short fine leg as the yorker was dug out into the on-side. 12 needed off 3 balls.

Holder to Shami, 1 run, drags a full ball down to long-on. Only a single. 13 needed!!

Mohammed Shami, right handed bat, comes to the crease

49.1

Holder to U Yadav, out Bowled!! This was brilliant. Right up there, the batsman looks to slog and misses. India lose #9. In dire straits, they have contrived to lose here. Holder has been the man. The leader leading from the front. An inch perfect yorker, that is what confidence does to you. India need a miracle from here. U Yadav b Holder 0(1)

Holder to U Yadav, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Umesh Yadav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Last over. 14 needed. Umesh on strike. Holder to bowl.

48.6

Kesrick Williams to Dhoni, out Caught by Alzarri Joseph!! Slogs one straight to the man at long-on! Dhoni is gone. So, are India's chances. His misery with the bat have come to an end as well. This has been one knock which will be debated for a long time to come. That was length, on the sticks and heaved straight to long-on. India have their hopes dashed. Dhoni c Alzarri Joseph b Kesrick Williams 54(114) [4s-1]

Kesrick Williams to Dhoni, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

48.5

Kesrick Williams to Kuldeep Yadav, 1 run, looks to slog, the ball takes the outer edge and goes to third man for a single. Can MS keep the strike?

48.4

Kesrick Williams to Kuldeep Yadav, no run, fuller length delivery outside off and the batsman trying to get bat on it, misses. This is drama. Out of Shakespeare's book. 15 needed off 8 now.

48.3

Kesrick Williams to Kuldeep Yadav, no run, stays inside the line of the slower ball and defends it into the off-side. Wanted a single but doesn't get it

48.2

Kesrick Williams to Dhoni, 1 run, push-drives it to cover and he will get a single

48.1

Kesrick Williams to Dhoni, no run, slower full ball outside off, pushed back awkwardly to the bowler

16 off 12! Williams is someone Dhoni hasn't been comfortable dealing with. Here we go. Trust MS to take it to the last over. This though could have been avoided.

47.6

Holder to Kuldeep Yadav, no run, slower delivery outside off and the batsman trying to run it down, misses it. Pressure on India now!!

47.5

Holder to Kuldeep Yadav, no run, turns the ball back to the bowler as the ball was full on the sticks

47.4

Holder to Dhoni, 1 run, push-drives it with his hands going into the shot for a single to deep cover. Kuldeep Yadav wanted a couple but was sent back by Dhoni

Kuldeep Yadav, left handed bat, comes to the crease

47.3

Holder to Jadeja, out Caught by Rovman Powell!! Jadeja and his selection of shots can be questionable at times. A slower delivery and the batsman looks to heave it but finds the man at long-on. India throw themselves into another hole. A needles slog and a wicket for the Windies to keep them alive. Jadeja c Rovman Powell b Holder 11(11) [4s-1]

Holder to Jadeja, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

47.2

Holder to Dhoni, 1 run, drives the full toss with utmost care to long-on. He is still being cautious

Holder is taking his time to set the field. Only four inside the ring.

47.1

Holder to Jadeja, 1 run, short ball, steered away to third man for a single

19 needed off 18 balls now. Dhoni having a little bit of drinks here. He is dehydrating.

Holder to Jadeja, no run, uuhhhh, extra bounce and the ball jumps onto the batsman to take the gloves and fall right in front of him. He was unaware of the whereabouts of the ball

45.2

Holder to Jadeja, 2 runs, tucked around the corner and the batsman turned it away just behind square for a couple. Dhoni made Jadeja come back for a couple

Ravindra Jadeja, left handed bat, comes to the crease

45.1

Holder to Hardik Pandya, out Bowled!! Did I call it too early? That was a yorker, Hardik Pandya shuffles too much across the sticks and misses it for the base of the leg-stick to be rattled. India doesn't have the cushion of too many batsmen here. Hardik Pandya b Holder 20(21) [4s-1 6s-1]

Holder to Hardik Pandya, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Jason Holder [7.0-2-16-1] is back into the attack

Last 5 overs only 31 needed. India have scored 24 in the last 2 overs to bring the equation down. Holder is into the attack. If he can bowl, why was Chase introduced into the attack? That move might have cost Windies a game here.

44.6

Alzarri Joseph to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, another toe-ended drive to get it past cover and down to long-off for a single

44.5

Alzarri Joseph to Dhoni, 1 run, the ball chalks the toe-end on the drive and the ball escapes into the covers for a single

44.5

Alzarri Joseph to Dhoni, wide, fourth wide of the over. He is trying to anticipate the batsman going onto the on-side but he is spilling it too wide

44.4

Alzarri Joseph to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, driven into the long-off region as the ball was full

16 off that over. India are back in the driver's seat. But why did Chase bowl so late in the innings? Holder has a niggle?

43.6

Roston Chase to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, turned fine on the on-side and they steal a couple as Hardik Pandya allowed the ball to come to him before tickling it away

43.5

Roston Chase to Hardik Pandya, SIX, his heart must have been in his mouth! The slog sweep put into use and the man at deep mid hovered around the fence before realizing the ball was over him. India needed that

43.4

Roston Chase to Dhoni, 1 run, cut away, excellent from point as he dives and stops a couple of runs. India get a quick single as Dhoni forces Hardik Pandya into a single

43.4

Roston Chase to Dhoni, wide, quick, down leg-side, wided

43.3

Roston Chase to Dhoni, FOUR, the quick hands and the trademark Dhoni paddle takes the ball fine to fine leg for a four. The runs need are less than fifty now and this is Dhoni's first four

43.2

Roston Chase to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, flattish on the pads and tucked behind square for a single

43.1

Roston Chase to Dhoni, 1 run, flat bats the forehand to long-off as the ball turned in

Roston Chase, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

The rate has shot up to proportions where India can't afford to lose a wicket. Surprise, surprise. Chase into the attack in a tense chase. But why? A forced move or something innovative?

42.6

Kesrick Williams to Dhoni, 1 run, strides out, guides it to short third and takes a single

42.5

Kesrick Williams to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, looks to turn it away on the on-side, gets a leading edge and the ball lands tantalizingly short of the man at point

Kesrick Williams to Dhoni, no run, steps ahead and pushes the ball to point off a shortish ball

42.1

Kesrick Williams to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, slower delivery and the batsman walks into the clip to long-on

India have dug themselves a hole here. Dhoni's treacherously slow knock has been difficult to comprehend. It would come under scrutiny for sure. 59 needed off 48. Kesrick for me is the key. Only 4 inside the ring.

41.6

Nurse to Dhoni, no run, faster delivery, that kept low, skidded on and the batsman misses the pull for the pad to make connection

41.5

35.4

Nurse to Kedar Jadhav, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Bat, pad, dive from the keeper and taken. The ball turned in and took the edge as the bounce did the batsman in. The keeper dived forward to his left to take a smart catch. India are in a spot of bother now! Windies will have to think wickets here, more of them. Kedar Jadhav c Shai Hope b Nurse 10(14)

Nurse to Kedar Jadhav, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

35.3

Nurse to Dhoni, 1 run, punches the ball past the bowler and he gets a single to long-off

35.2

Nurse to Dhoni, no run, flattish, punched hard, back to the bowler

35.1

34.6

It has been 89 balls since the last four was hit.

33.1

Nurse to Kedar Jadhav, 2 runs, a little sashay and then the clip over the man at mid-wicket for a couple

Time for Drinks! India have been painstakingly slow on a wicket which continues to slow down further. The requirement is simpler for India but Windies with a couple of wickets can roar back.

32.6

Devendra Bishoo to Dhoni, no run, drives a full ball to find the man at cover

32.5

Devendra Bishoo to Dhoni, 2 runs, takes the ball from the sticks and MS SWEEPS! That is very not normal. Gets a couple as the man at square leg runs across to stop it

32.4

Devendra Bishoo to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, looks to cut and the ball takes the outer edge to fly away from short third for an iffy single. Off the mark

31.1

Still 89 needed off 19 overs with Pandya and Jadeja to follow should be easy peasy for India.

30.6

Devendra Bishoo to Kedar Jadhav, no run, stays his crease and turns the ball on the on-side

Kedar Jadhav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

A twist in the dreary tale? That ball to Rahane never arrived. It was slow and turned away ever so meekly past the bat, taking a spike on the way.

30.5

Devendra Bishoo to Rahane, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Review taken by Rahane as he has been given caught behind. He went for a booming sweep and the keeper started appealing to which the umpire agreed. There seems to be a slight faint rise in the snicko, but the bat doesn't seem close to the ball. The third umpire has upheld the decision. That was close. The snicko showed a spike but it seemed from the other angle that the bat might not have been close to the ball as it passed by. But there was no real evidence to overturn the decision either and thus it was upheld. Rahane c Shai Hope b Devendra Bishoo 60(91) [4s-7]

Devendra Bishoo to Rahane, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Review taken by Rahane as he has been given caught behind. He went for a booming sweep and the keeper started appealing to which the umpire agreed. There seems to be a slight faint rise in the snicko, but the bat doesn't seem close to the ball. The third umpire has upheld the decision. That was close.

Devendra Bishoo to Rahane, no run, short ball and cut away to find the man at extra cover

28.1

Devendra Bishoo to Dhoni, 1 run, flattish delivery and the batsman pushes the ball through the covers for a single

Here is an offie. Both the batsmen would relish this I guess? He has been very tight with his lines though throughout the series.

21.4

Devendra Bishoo to Rahane, 1 run, again, shortish for the batsman to cut it to a straightish sweeper cover

18.1

Kesrick Williams to Rahane, wide, huge shout for a strangle down leg. Williams gives the tea pot pose. Looks bamboozled. No conflabs which means they aren't going to review this. No spike on the UltraEdge. Short of a length angling down, Rahane misses the glance and the noise might have been Rahane's bat clipping the pad. Not sure, but definitely no bat involved.

16.3

16.2

16.1

Kesrick Williams to Rahane, 1 run, full and straight, Rahane flicks it from around off-stump towards fine leg

Should be drinks. This is the best Windies have bowled so far in the series, and this is their best chance to make a comeback in the series. Can they do it? Can they?

15.6

Devendra Bishoo to Dhoni, no run, lovely floater outside off, left alone to the keeper. Maiden over

15.5

Devendra Bishoo to Dhoni, no run, beaten neck and crop! Beautiful drift and it spins just enough to rip past the outside edge, was so close to taking the off-stump too. Hands-on-head moment for the Windies, some of the close-in fielders get excited as they think there was an edge. No dice

12.4

Alzarri Joseph to Karthik, out Caught by Shai Hope!! DK's struggles comes to an end. Almost an action replay of Kohli's dismissal. Tries to take on the short ball, but all he manages is a big slice of top-edge. The keeper couldn't have asked for an easier catch than this. Barely moved. It zooms off after hitting the deck and the extra bounce Joseph produces was always going to be a concern. Karthik never looked home and his departure would have hurt him deeply more than anyone else. Karthik c Shai Hope b Alzarri Joseph 2(19)

11.4

10.5

Alzarri Joseph to Rahane, FOUR, nutmegs Holder to the long-off fence! Rahane checks his drive, since there is lot of bottom hand power on it, the ball nearly carried to the Windies skipper. What's more worse is that the ball sneaks through his legs and into the fence

Dinesh Karthik, right handed bat, comes to the crease

5.6

Holder to Kohli, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Second successive failure for Kohli too. The moment he hit that, he knew he was going to be out, didn't even look at Jinks. Just waited for the keeper to complete the catch. It's that short ball again, and it's Holder again. Fetches the pull from outside off, but could only manage a thick top-edge which swirls in the air for a decade, Hope wanders forward and nestles it in his gloves. Kohli c Shai Hope b Holder 3(12)

3.5

Holder to Rahane, no run, touch fuller outside off, nicely driven, but straight to the man at mid-off

3.4

Holder to Rahane, no run, appeals for leg before and doesn't think about a review. Height was an issue, going down leg too. Replays confirm the same. It was a length ball that decked back in to hit Rahane high on the front pad, he missed the tuck, but the umpire got it spot on

3.3

Holder to Rahane, no run, gets his line right this time, attacking the stumps, Rahane is behind it like a rock

2.1

Alzarri Joseph to Dhawan, out Caught by Holder!! Second successive failure for Shikhar Dhawan. Alzarri Joseph is chuffed to bits and why wouldn't he be! A nothing shot from SD, lacked intent. It was short and banged hard into the pitch, Dhawan wanted to hack it away over mid-on with a booming cross bat swing, doesn't get hold of it. Holder at mid-on moves to his left and takes the simplest of catches. Dhawan c Holder b Alzarri Joseph 5(7)

Alzarri Joseph to Dhawan, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

1.6

Holder to Rahane, no run, good length, gets some extra bounce after a hint of inward movement, Rahane shoulders arms

1.5

Holder to Dhawan, 1 run, lots of freedom outside off for SD, he frees his arms and sends the cut in the gap between backward point and gully. There is a third man in place though

1.4

1.3

Holder to Dhawan, 3 runs, full ball, SD leans into his drive and places it between cover and extra cover, good enough to come back for the third

1.2

Holder to Dhawan, no run, still short, Dhawan chops it down towards gully

1.2

Holder to Dhawan, wide, loud appeal for strangle down leg, but umpire Chris Gaffaney signals a wide. Holder came round the wicket for this one, angled the short ball into Dhawan and lured him into a flick, there was some sound as the ball passed the batsman, but reckon it may have flicked SD's shirt there

The last time Windies batted full 50 overs without reaching 200 was against India in Kingston in 2006 - and they won by one run.

1.1

Holder to Dhawan, no run, fuller and angled across the left-hander, SD lets it pass

0.5

Alzarri Joseph to Dhawan, no run, good length around off, SD pats it into the off-side

0.4

Alzarri Joseph to Rahane, 1 run, just short of Roston Chase at long leg. Short ball, gets good shoulder on it, hurries Rahane on the pull and the top-edge drops inches short of the fielder. Chase anticipated well, but it was always going to fall short of him

0.3

Alzarri Joseph to Rahane, 2 runs, drifting into the pads, Rahane stays beside the line of the delivery and tucks it through square leg

Alzarri Joseph to Rahane, no run, back of a length, wide of off stump, Rahane stays on the back foot and steers it towards gully

Rahane and Dhawan are at the crease. Rahane is on strike. Alzarri Joseph will open the attack

13:25 local: Welcome back! This should be a pretty straightforward chase for India. Jinks and Dhawan stride out to the centre as heavy wind blows across the ground. The drummers are entertaining the crowd as Alzarri Joseph gets ready to bowl. One slip in place...

12.45 local time: And number ten and eleven walk off to an argument. The debate of the missed single. Well the Windies needed a lot more than the last run they missed. But it isn't these two who're to be blamed for the mishap. It started off positively, which was pretty much a surprise. With some watchful batting. But just when the time came to step up, the gas in the tank of all the refuels that came in dried up. The top five had 20s and 30s to boast of, but none of them carried on to make it big, to lay into their groundwork. Sums it up when there wasn't a single boundary in the last 13.5 overs. The Yadavs once again were impressive. Pandya nailing his position further. So, can the bowlers undo the damage? Or is it business as usual. In 40 mins..

49.6

U Yadav to Kesrick Williams, 1 run, wide, latches onto the width and hammers it away down to third man. And then for some strange reason Alzarri doesn't want the second. Oh my. Williams has time to run halfway down and then return back in too. Sums up the innings

49.5

U Yadav to Alzarri Joseph, 1 run, a low full toss. Not quite the room to get under it as he whips it away through mid-wicket. One ball to go. Where's the final blow landing

49.4

U Yadav to Alzarri Joseph, 2 runs, the death slog now. Goes uppish with his attempted tonk. Carving it off the other side of the bat this time. Enough chunk on it to evade a running back mid-off

49.3

U Yadav to Alzarri Joseph, no run, on the pull. Clears the front leg and a reckless inside edge off the horizontal blade onto his pad

49.2

U Yadav to Kesrick Williams, 1 run, to the safer end now. Courtesy a waiting guide past point

49.1

U Yadav to Kesrick Williams, no run, taps it down to mid-on, who fumbles. And they do not get across. Well, well

48.6

Shami to Alzarri Joseph, no run, a drive on the up to extra cover. Firmly pushed

48.5

Shami to Alzarri Joseph, no run, pulls, without a clue. Top-edges. Short of the sprinting in Dhoni though

Kesrick Williams, right handed bat, comes to the crease

48.4

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, out Devendra Bishoo Run Out!! Jadeja and his dealing with the rocket launcher disguised in the form of an arm. The under-arm rocket launcher. Bishoo looks to sneak through after soft handing one to backward point, one region where you never take on the man. Is late in getting off the blocks too. Jaddu meanwhile lines up, waits, aims and breaks the middle of middle. Devendra Bishoo run out (Jadeja) 15(30)

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

48.3

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, no run, jumps, fends off the leading edge. Back onto the pitch

48.2

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, no run, an arch back with the bat thrown up in looking for some version of an upper cut. None. A stray noise as the ball goes past

48.1

Shami to Alzarri Joseph, 1 run, and now Kohli wants a piece of the show. Doesn't bother looking and has one of his turning chucks. From cover-point after Joseph taps it out there. No one backing up too

47.6

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 2 runs, width now. Off the slowed up pace. An uppish chip on the cut over point

47.5

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, no run, another climber. Up and gaining in elevation as it zooms past the attempted pull

47.4

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, no run, the off-cutter now. Grips, kicks up and takes the splice on the defence

47.3

U Yadav to Alzarri Joseph, 1 run, on the bounce to drop it in front of square on the on-side. Off and running

47.3

U Yadav to Alzarri Joseph, wide, short now. Too much so. Joseph is happy to sit down in claiming the extra

Alzarri Joseph, right handed bat, comes to the crease

47.2

U Yadav to Nurse, out Caught&Bowled!! The showman - Umesh Yadav. He runs in, he bounces Nurse out and he dives in his followthrough too to pluck out a stunner. Nicely directed at serious pace, up on the nose and Nurse pulls it away off the inside-edge. Rebounds onto the helmet and up for grabs. Umesh recovers, runs to his right and puts in the dive jumping to his right. Nurse c and b U Yadav 4(12)

U Yadav to Nurse, THAT'S OUT!! Caught&Bowled!!

47.1

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, opens up. And hacks it across the line to deep square leg

Umesh Yadav [8.0-1-26-2] is back into the attack

46.6

Shami to Nurse, no run, oh yes. There is the blockholer. Jams the bat down in time to dig it back to the bowler

46.5

Shami to Nurse, no run, another short one. Another ambitious pull. High enough to go past the flat bat. The yorker to follow?

46.4

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, stays normal. And dispatches the full, in-tailer down to long-off

46.3

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, no run, now switches. Premeditates and turns right handed to a delivery on a back of a length outside off. And then swishes the bat out. Obvious to miss

46.2

Shami to Nurse, 1 run, the bumper. Takes it off the grille with an angry pull. Not quite the control though. A meek one-bounced stuff to backward square leg

46.1

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, walks away. And a full-blooded drive on the up. Makes mid-off dive in cutting it off

45.6

Kuldeep Yadav to Nurse, no run, leaning back now. With a pat to see off yet another stunner of a spell from Kuldeep - only two wickets this time though. 10-1-31-2 it is

45.5

Kuldeep Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, forward this time. To execute a wristy chip in the air through mid-on

45.4

Kuldeep Yadav to Nurse, 1 run, the toss up. Crouches in taking it on the full to smear it through the covers

45.3

45.2

Kuldeep Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, short now. Slapped square

45.1

Kuldeep Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, no run, drifting in on leg. Looks to take matters against the turn, against the line with his flick. Misses. The pad takes the brunt

44.6

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, quick in getting the bat up in covering his face - quite where the ball was headed. To fend it away past the pitch. Wonder why everyone in the ring is so deep. The single always seems on

44.5

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, no run, 138kph. The screaming yorker. Just about dug out. Just

44.4

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, no run, 135kph, behind the line now. And indulges in a straight batted push-back

44.3

Shami to Nurse, 1 run, 132kph, kicking up off a back of a length. Walks inside the line and nails it along the carpet. With a leg up in the air. Behind square it goes

44.2

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, 120kph, the change of pace, but on the pads to negate the effect. Neatly clippped away

44.1

Shami to Devendra Bishoo, no run, the rib-tickler. At 134kph. A jumpy kill down under his eyeline

Mohammed Shami [7.0-2-26-0] is back into the attack

43.6

Kuldeep Yadav to Nurse, no run, goes further forward, closer to the line this time. Counters the turn coming in with a push

43.5

Kuldeep Yadav to Nurse, no run, plunges out. With all ingredients in place for the defence, decides to leave it alone

43.4

Kuldeep Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, now the paddle. All forms of innovation being dished out here. Quite off the miscue as it flies past the keeper

43.3

Kuldeep Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 2 runs, brings out the sweep now. Isn't afraid in dragging it from wide outside off and does it well in the end in getting it behind square

43.2

43.1

42.5

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, no run, slightly fuller. Behind the line and careful in defence

42.4

U Yadav to Nurse, 1 run, the short one. A Natraj pull with one knee perpendicular. Around the corner

42.3

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, the spare slip cordon. Comes in to bite the Indians. Throws his hands out hard at the width, despite the line way away from his body. Skewed away off the outside edge which would have gone down the throat of a wide slip

42.2

U Yadav to Devendra Bishoo, no run, a rise on the toes, and an airborne bunt to point

Not quite the conventional form of attack here from Kohli. Is happy to spread out the field. No slip either

41.6

Hardik Pandya to Nurse, no run, up, and pulling. Rolls his wrists on it too to keep it down. Mid-wicket it is

41.5

Hardik Pandya to Devendra Bishoo, 1 run, just a dab. Deft. Pushes it out to point and doesn't mind taking on Jadeja. Not when his throw is off-target

41.4

Hardik Pandya to Devendra Bishoo, no run, stands his ground. With the bat poking out in a defence into the off-side

41.3

Hardik Pandya to Devendra Bishoo, no run, angling across, welcomes himself with a leave

Devendra Bishoo, left handed bat, comes to the crease

41.2

Hardik Pandya to J Mohammed, out Caught by Jadeja!! And another. If Mohammed was touted to stage a lone recovery and smash a few around, it has to be some other day. A soft, soft dismissal and he steers it into the hands of backward point. Checks the shot on the width provided and ends up chipping his wicket away. Okay now the Windies are in serious danger of not playing out their quota. J Mohammed c Jadeja b Hardik Pandya 20(33) [4s-1]

Hardik Pandya to J Mohammed, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

41.1

U Yadav to J Mohammed, 1 run, up on the bounce. And an airborne fend away

Ashley Nurse, right handed bat, comes to the crease

40.5

U Yadav to Rovman Powell, out Caught by Jadeja!! Why o why? Gets it 180-degrees to the opposite side of where he intended to take this. And an equal number of yards shorter. Was the back of a length stuff outside off and Powell stands looking to go across the line in heaving it away. Smoking it into the ocean to be fair-er. All he manages is the thick outside edge and a fly to a backtracking Jadeja from his usual backward point. Rovman Powell c Jadeja b U Yadav 2(9)

U Yadav to Rovman Powell, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

40.4

U Yadav to J Mohammed, 1 run, lines up for the pull, follows it up with a ramp. Not quite the bounce on this one and a late adjustment leads to the change of mind

40.3

U Yadav to Rovman Powell, 1 run, 136kph, the yorker missed by a cool few inches. Taken on the full and whipped away to mid-wicket

40.2

U Yadav to J Mohammed, 1 run, on a good length around the top of off. An open batted square steer follows

40.2

U Yadav to J Mohammed, wide, slipping down leg. Well down rather

40.1

U Yadav to J Mohammed, no run, chips it around the corner. And then entertains himself with an aimless walk down the track. Powell didn't bother. A cool few steps before sense returns in sending Mohammed back in

39.6

Kuldeep Yadav to Rovman Powell, no run, the wrong 'un now. Reaches out to edge it on the bounce to the slip fielder

39.5

Kuldeep Yadav to Rovman Powell, no run, backwards now. And the searching defence. The ball drops just under the bat and almost threatens to spin back onto the stumps. Nearly

39.4

Kuldeep Yadav to Rovman Powell, no run, reaches out tentatively and the leading edge rolls to mid-off

39.3

Kuldeep Yadav to Rovman Powell, no run, ahh, peach. Says a story in itself when Mahendra Singh Dhoni too struggles to pick it correctly. And then recovers to appeal. Was there a tickle? None if Powell is to be believed. Goes up in challenge. Okay here we go - nothing on the UltraEdge. And the ball is spinning rather viciously to turn well past the leg-stick on going past the missed flick that struck him in front of off. Powell survives to live on for another day. The original decision from umpire Gaffaney was for caught behind, but since there was no bat, the third umpire checked for a possible LBW

Ahh, peach. Says a story in itself when Mahendra Singh Dhoni too struggles to pick it correctly. And then recovers to appeal. Was there a tickle? None if Powell is to be believed. Goes up in challenge. Okay here we go - nothing on the UltraEdge. And the ball is spinning rather viciously to turn well past the leg-stick on going past the missed flick that struck him in front of off. Powell survies to live on for another day

39.2

Kuldeep Yadav to Rovman Powell, no run, turning in on the top of off. Has the time to read it off the back foot as he indulges in a knock into the on-side

39.1

Kuldeep Yadav to J Mohammed, 1 run, walks away, to slap the conventional break through sweeper. Rather short

Kuldeep Yadav [7.0-1-24-2] is back into the attack

38.6

U Yadav to J Mohammed, 1 run, gets the width. And keeps himself on strike with a square fence

38.5

U Yadav to J Mohammed, no run, on the ribs. Up, on the bounce and an awkward bunt back to the bowler

38.4

U Yadav to J Mohammed, no run, a stab to gully. It is Jadeja out there. And out comes the throw, keeping the non-striker honest

38.3

U Yadav to Rovman Powell, 1 run, 135kph, runs it down to third man. First runs

38.2

U Yadav to Rovman Powell, no run, on a good length with a hint of movement coming in. Wide enough to start off for a trusted leave

Rovman Powell, right handed bat, comes to the crease

38.1

U Yadav to Holder, out Caught by Dhoni!! The misery amplifies. This time in the form of the skipper. A nothing delivery really. Slipping down leg with the angle and asking to be glanced away. Holder tries just that, shuffling inwards, only to tickle it into the hands of a diving Dhoni. Doesn't even bother disturbing the umpire into making the decision. Holder c Dhoni b U Yadav 11(10) [4s-1]

U Yadav to Holder, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Umesh Yadav [5.0-1-16-0] is back into the attack

37.5

Shami to Holder, no run, nipping in a touch on middle. A drive, rather mistimed to mid-on

37.4

Shami to J Mohammed, 3 runs, okay, the third umpire turns detective. Has the ball touched the boundary rope? Kuldeep was the man with the run around, the swoop and the dive. And then he tries to save the ball from rolling in with the feet out to kick the ball back in. Was there a simultaneous body contact - with the rope and the ball? Very uncertain. Goes in the fielder's favour. All after Mohammed whacks one hard through the covers going after the width

37.3

Shami to Holder, 1 run, loose. More of the feet refusing to move as Holder doesn't bother to even stretch in dealing with his ambitious cut. A top-edge falling, minus the control and minus the power. Well short of third man

36.3

Hardik Pandya to Holder, 1 run, more of the fuller-straight lines. More of the straight bats to mid-on, rather soft to warrant the strike rotation

36.2

Hardik Pandya to Holder, no run, fullish, veering in on off. A straight batted response of a drive in return to take it to mid-off

36.1

Jason Holder, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Drinks! So West Indies after a familiar start are falling into the familiar mid overs zone - of falling apart. With identical dismissals and set-ups. Everything now on the shoulders of these two to defy recent history

34.6

Hardik Pandya to Shai Hope, out Caught by Dhoni!! Edged and taken! A tame end to Hope's innings. A cross-seam delivery from Pandya from a short of length. Hope, in an attempt to run it down to third man, gets a faint outside nick that is gobbled up by a diving Dhoni who was also sporting a helmet. For the second time in as many matches, Hardik Pandya has dismissed the Hope brothers. Shai Hope c Dhoni b Hardik Pandya 25(39) [4s-1]

Chase had no clue whatsoever about this delivery. Nice flight that was drifting away. Chase thinks it is a leggie, moves leg-side and looks to whip it through the on-side. The ball tweaks away after pitching and hits the timber. Roston Chase b Kuldeep Yadav 24(34) [4s-2]

17.2

Hardik Pandya to Kyle Hope, out Caught by Kedar Jadhav!! Something had to give as Hope was looking to accelerate, but a needless hit brings India their first wicket. He had struck a boundary off the previous ball and should have looked for a single this delivery, but that is inexperience for you. Shimmies down the wicket while giving himself room, wanted to go over mid-off, but the slow nature of the wicket did him in as he sliced it to sweeper cover.

6.3

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, back of a length outside off, blocked with an angled bat to point

6.2

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, that is not an easy shot to play against Shami, especially when you don't move your feet. Short and outside off, Hope slashes and is beaten. The skiddy nature of Shami causing the undoing

6.1

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, short of length in the fifth stump channel, Hope pats it on the head and directs it to short cover-point

5.6

5.3

U Yadav to Kyle Hope, no run, fuller and just outside off, Hope pushes it to mid-off

4.6

Shami to Lewis, no run, back of a length and around the hip region, Lewis knocks it to mid-wicket

4.5

Shami to Kyle Hope, 5 runs, poor throw from Jadhav. Concedes four bonus runs. Hope tapped the length delivery in front of mid-off and set off for a quick single. Jadhav swoops down and fires a wayward throw at the bowler's end, mid-on and mid-wicket dive, but the ball beat them comfortably

4.4

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, good stop by MS. An inside edge which almost wrong-footed Dhoni.

Dhoni was initially moving to his right, but changed direction to make the save

4.3

3.6

U Yadav to Lewis, no run, consecutive maidens. Another inside edge and Lewis is lucky that there are hitting his pad and not the wickets. Slanted in and tails back in to cause all sort of problems to Lewis, who is trying to survive. In fact, it was off the toe-end as the ball didn't bounce much

3.4

U Yadav to Lewis, no run, short of length on off, Lewis stands tall and blocks

3.2

U Yadav to Lewis, no run, touch fuller than the previous delivery and the line was also better. Much closer to the off-stump, Lewis reckoned he had to play that and had a flirty poke at it, beaten on the outside edge

3.1

U Yadav to Lewis, no run, the two-paced nature of the surface on show. Short and wide, Lewis's eyes lit up to play the cut shot, hops and looks to force it through point. But the ball does not come on as he expected and chopped it back to Umesh

2.6

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, back of a length in and around off, Hope is right behind the line to knock it to mid-off. Maiden for Shami and a much better over compared to his first one

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, back of a length on off, Hope defends off the inner half of the bat to mid-wicket

Second slip moves to short point..

2.2

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, short and outside off, it was a hit-me ball from Shami and Hope has missed out. He went a bit too hard on the cut shot and chopped it to the right of backward point

2.1

Two slips for Umesh as well..

1.3

U Yadav to Lewis, no run, back of a length outside off, Lewis is happy to wave it through to MS

1.1

U Yadav to Lewis, wide, Umesh starts the same way he did in the third ODI. However, this time he steams in from round the wicket and darts it down leg, Lewis does not make contact with the glance and some work for MS behind the sticks

Umesh Yadav, right-arm fast, comes into the attack

0.6

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, slightly short of good length and outside off, Hope lifts his bat and lets it go

0.5

Shami to Kyle Hope, no run, good length ball on off, Hope is watchful in his defence and plays it right under his eyes, to mid-on

0.4

Shami to Lewis, 1 run, edged and safe. Much better length this from Shami, on a good length and in the corridor around off, Lewis had to play at that and all he could manage was a thick outside edge, dribbles away to third man

0.3

Shami to Lewis, no run, fuller and attacking the stumps, Lewis brings his bat in front of his pad and blocks it to mid-on. Still the feet are not moving and Shami will look to target that

0.2

Shami to Lewis, FOUR, poor delivery follow up delivery and Shami is punished. Short and plenty of room provided outside off, Lewis does not bother to move his feet, stands his ground and flays it over cover-point

0.1

Shami to Lewis, no run, starts with a sharp bouncer. The line was perfect as it was head for the batsman's head, Lewis took his eyes off the ball as he tried to evade it, managed to do so in the nick of time. Good carry through to MS

Lewis and Kyle Hope are at the crease. Lewis is on strike. Shami will open the attack

That was quick! The Windies openers - Kyle Hope and Evin Lewis are walking out to the middle. The Indians have already taken the field and are in position. Mohammad Shami back in the ODI side after two and half years has the new nut. Two slips in place for him and off he goes..

COVERS COMING OFF!! That is good news but they will need some time to make the ground match ready. We will get you the word. The sun is also trying to sneak in and then peak.

08:52 Local Time, 12:52 GMT, 18:22 IST: It is raining heavily right now at Antigua. The covers are in place. Hopefully it is a passing shower that will stop soon and we will get a full, non-interrupted game. It is pelting down. The weather was fine when the captains were out for the toss and there was no rain expected in the forecast. The start will be delayed.

Pitch Report: "We had very good weather yesterday, so the groundstaff had time to prepare the wicket. There is not as much moisture. We have slightly bare areas. The wicket has been two-paced in nature and it is going to stay that. Early on there will be a bit more bounce and should flatten out later on. It is a good surface and the runs will be scored square of the wicket," reckons Jeff Dujon.

Kohli: That was the plan (to bowl first). Not a bad thing to lose the toss. We wanted to bowl first and see how we bat on this wicket second. We are also giving some of the guys a go. Yuvi got a bit of hammy in the last game, so he is not playing and DK comes in. Jadeja comes in for Ash. Mohammad Shami gets a go in place of Bhuvneshwar. We want to be ruthless as a side and play to the best of our potential. We were put under the pump in the last game, but we came out on top again. The players are pretty optimistic in going ahead in these two games also.

Holder: We are going to bat first. It (surface) seems a bit better than the last game. We have been bowling first so far in the series. We have only one change. Joseph in for Cummins. It is good to have rotation. It is important to have the positive mindset as a batsman. The wicket was a bit up and down last time, probably it would do a bit at the start today as well. So, we just have to get past that and push on thereafter.

Windies have won the toss and have opted to bat

Yuvraj, who injured his hamstring while fielding in the second ODI and trudged off, is declared fit. Will that mean that India stick their playing XI for this ODI? Or will Pant or Karthik get a look in? Should have the answers soon.

Windies are not playing any ODIs after the series and until the cut-off date for World Cup qualifications - September 30. So, this was there last chance to qualify automatically. They have been average against this strong Indian team. The batting has just not clicked, while the bowling was good in the last game. They need to get both absolutely right, if they have to beat India. Still two matches to go and a chance to level the series. Let's hope there is a more even battle between the two teams today. Toss and teams coming up. Stay tuned!

Rahane has made the most of Rohit's absence and with scores of 62, 103, 72 is the leading run-scorer in the series. Dhawan has continued from where he had left off in the Champions Trophy, while the other four batsmen have made telling contributions. Kuldeep is the standout bowler as the Windies batsmen have struggled to read him. Ashwin with his change of actions and variations has been the perfect foil for the chinaman.

08:00 Local Time, 12:00 GMT, 17:30 IST: Dominant. Authoritative. Commanding. Just some of the adjectives to describe India's performance in the series so far. The Kumble-Kohli saga seems long gone as the visitors have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match series. A win here in the fourth ODI would just wrap up the series for Kohli and Co., who stretch their unbeaten run in a bilateral series to four series.

Preview:

There hasn't been anything spectacular about the ongoing ODI series between Windies and India with the visitors, as was expected of them, taking a comfortable lead in the series - an unassailable 2-0 at that - with two matches remaining. If not for the opening ODI being ruined because of rain, India could have well sealed the series by now, which is what they'll be attempting to do in the fourth ODI at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on Sunday (July 2).

Thrice Windies have bowled first and on two occasions, they did manage to come up with a decent effort with the ball. In the first game, they came back well to pick up quick wickets after a 132-run opening stand but the weather halted their fightback abruptly. While India managed to score 310 in the second ODI, Windies had to be complimented for the death-bowling efforts, where they conceded less than six an over in the last 20 overs. In the previous match, using a damp wicket to their advantage, they picked up early wickets and ensured that India did not end up with a sizeable total, although they were guilty of giving away 100 in their final 10.

The positives have outweighed some of the drawbacks and Windies have been on the money with the ball, but the margin of results in the second and third ODIs - 105 and 93 runs respectively - point out a major shortcoming, which is their batting. Barring a knock of 81 by Shai Hope in the second ODI, none of the Windies batsmen have been able to make an impact, with the next highest score being Jason Mohammed's 40 in the third game. As a direct result of that, which is largely due to an inexperienced line-up, Windies have suffered massive losses and are now on the verge of conceding the series. Unless that can pull up their socks and show immense application with the bat, the status quo of the current series is unlikely to change.

India have a lot of positives when it comes to their performances in the series thus far, although they haven't yet tried out their bench strength. The form of Ajinkya Rahane, who has three fifty-plus scores in as many matches - including a century - augurs well for their batting order, and will keep the likes of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul on their toes. Virat Kohli had suggested that Rahane's utility is not just as an opening batsman as he can also be used as a floater, and his ability to adjust to the different kinds of situations that India have found themselves in, justifies the skipper's statement. MS Dhoni's crucial knock in the previous game and Kedar Jadhav's contribution with the bat suggests the strength of India's middle-order, which can step up if the situation demands. Yuvraj Singh too proved that he is an important cog, assisting Rahane in leading India's recovery, although he would have preferred to make a bigger contribution than his knock of 39.

India's bowling department has been impressive in this series with performances coming from all corners. The quicks Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been complemented well by Hardik Pandya while Kuldeep Yadav's wicket-taking abilities, which has been on display in this series, proves why he should be persisted with in limited-overs cricket. R Ashwin, after a below-par Champions Trophy, has been getting back into the groove.

When: Sunday, July 2 at 9:00 AM Local Time (6:30 PM IST)

Where: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua

What to expect: The dampness in the wicket due to overnight rain made it slightly difficult for stroke-play in the previous game. But the conditions are expected to be better for the batsmen for this game. The forecast is for clear weather with a high of 29 degree Celsius.

Team News:

Windies: The hosts made as many as three changes for the previous game but it did not make much of a difference. Debutant Kesrick Williams started with a lot of promise but ended up going for runs in the death overs. Windies are likely to stick to the same side that featured in the previous game, unless they want to bring back Alzarri Joseph.

India: Kohli had suggested that the team management might consider including some of the players "who have not got a game", which hints at the possibility of Rishabh Pant's debut. The left-hander, who bats at No. 4 for Delhi in India's domestic 50-over competition, could be a like-for-like replacement for Yuvraj. The other choice for the visitors is Dinesh Karthik, who has also performed well in recent months.

Did you know?

21: The number of runs Ajinkya Rahane requires to become the highest Indian run-getter in a single series in West Indies. Rohit Sharma, who scored 257 runs in 2011, currently tops the list.

2: The number of stumpings MS Dhoni requires to equal Kumar Sangakkara for most stumpings in ODIs. The former India captain is three away from becoming the first to the 100-stumpings mark.

What they said:

"I am an instinctive player, I like to attack but at the highest level, you have to adapt. I do practise different shots in the nets but in the game situation, you need to read the conditions and situation before playing those shots." - Ajinkya Rahane.
